Do you provide traditional funeral services?

The answer is “Yes, we provide traditional funeral services.”  Actually, we provide a range of funeral services from traditional services, including a public viewing and funeral service, to cremation with or without a private viewing and/or memorial service, to green burials. We also provide services for those wishing to donate their remains to Humanity Gifts Registry for teaching and research purposes. Our business is a funeral service, not a funeral home. Although spacious and tastefully decorated, our facility does not have a chapel for public services. Instead, we conduct funeral and memorial services at local churches, chapels, and other locations near Manheim, which allows us to reduce the expense for the families we serve. Call or stop in for a tour. You will be glad you did.
